She was seen recently as Anne Marie in A Doll’s House, Part 2, Cynthia in Sweat (2019 Piccolo Spoleto Festival & 2018 MOJA Festival), Nina in The Royale, Scottie, the matriarch, in This Random World, Odd-See in the epic Father Comes Home from the Wars: Parts 1, 2 & 3; Wife in The Christians; 15 different characters in No Child, a one-woman show by Nilaja Sun; and Carole, in the world premiere of former student and PURE’s resident playwright David Lee Nelson’s A Sudden Spontaneous Event and of course, her first role for PURE, the cussing, drinking, smoking angel, Camae, in The Mountaintop. Her work in Charleston has included many of Shakespeare’s greatest male roles including Jaques, Polonius, and Prospero (name those shows!!) and a one woman show she wrote and performed handily called Moments of Joy. Additionally, Joy’s work as a director can be seen locally at the College in the Department of Theatre and Dance, where she has been a faculty member since 1994. Vandervort-Cobb’s voice pops up in the most unexpected of places: The U.S. Capitol Building, Disney’s Hall of Presidents, and in museums all across the country.
